Outdoo : by Bryan Berriault Within three weeks we have three opening days to contend with. Trout season is a couple of weeks old and pike and walleye in Georgian Bay is in its infancy with only a four-day trial for fishermen so far. Trout season opened on a celebration to say the least. There were more parties than fish. As usual, the slobs hit the rivers with both barrels. If these slob-fishermen left as much debris scattered on their own property it would look like a dump site. As trout season progressed, better success was had by those who waited out the rain- bows. Plenty of fish still remain' in the local rivers. With warm weather, spawning should come to an end towards the middle of next week. Fish will move downstream to Georgian Bay and feed on their way out. Rivers dropped considerably over Opening week, giving trout the jitters. It could be a few have hangovers from opening day. Fish the deep holes or dark pools later in the day. Rainbows move off the gravel into their hideaways as the sun rises over the yardarm. Work every inch of the pool if you are looking for the granddaddy. Best rivers are the Sturgeon and Coldwater. Both still have plenty of fish. Pike and Walleye opened in Georgian Bay May 1 and will open on inland waters of Huronia District May 8. With the late spring, shallow bays will be the best bet for these. Live bait and an af- ternoon of relaxation will invite a pike to dinner. Best bet will be Hogg Bay, Sturgeon Bay, Penetanguishene Bay and any of the hundreds of Bays up the shore. Walleye will be best off Waubaushene and Port Severn. There are plenty of big sows moving off the spawning grounds at Port Severn. Don't be too anxious to fish Port Severn. The men in green frown on early starters. The season for inland waters doesn't open until May 8. It's only a short wait, so don't rush it. Once again this year, Outdoor Canada Magazine (who I am proud to be associated with as a field editor) has made available the 1982 Fishing Annual free of charge for anyone who drops into the Midland Times office on King St. There is a limited number, so don't delay in picking up your copy. The editor of Outdoor Canada Magazine, Shiela Kaighen, has added yet more hard- ward to her already cluttered mantle. In April of this year Mrs. Kaighen was honoured with the Greg Clark Award for Outdoor Editorial Writing. After reading her articles its easy to see why Mrs. Kaighen has more hardware in her trophy case than I have in my tackle box. I don't understand how she finds the time to write after editing my copy. Pitch-In Week is almost upon us. May 10 - 16 will have hands busy cleaning up our streams, waterfronts and forest. Its not the quantity of time put in but the quality of work done. Even if an hour or two is all that can be spared, it's that much more litter and debris outdoor users won't have to look at. Pitch-In -- its SO easy. Highland Motel and Tavern EASTER EGG Contest Winner If you filled out a ballot at the Highland Motel and Tavern just before Easter, you are probably wondering how many Easter Eggs were in the jar. There were exactly 2,922. Three people came equally close to that figure, so a draw was made. A lady from down under (Australia) came out on top. Miss Anne Makarus was the winner of a Highland's Honeymoon Suite. Since the lucky lady has already returned to Australia she has' asked that her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Andy Makarus of Mississauga be awarded the prize.
